For the first time, lottery tickets can be bought at the checkout counters of a major supermarket chain.

National lottery operator Gidani has teamed up with Pick n Pay to sell Lotto and Lotto Plus Quick Pick tickets at till points in an effort to increase convenience for players and to enlarge its retail footprint.

"Following the successful launch of sales through banking channels in July, we continue our innovation programme to make National Lottery products available through convenient sales channels," said Gidani spokesman Thembi Tulwana.

Players will be able to buy eight denominations of Lotto and Lotto Plus Quick Pick at Pick n Pay supermarkets, hypermarkets and selected franchise Family and Mini Market stores nationally, including the Boxer Superstore, which is also part of the Pick n Pay group. Tickets can be redeemed at any lottery outlet. - Staff Reporter

Encouraging and making it easier for people to use money they should be using to live, just on the hopes that they may win. This is as bad as the adverts for casinos and on-line gambling.

I would rather buy an extra toilet roll than a Lotto ticket, because I get far more wipes from a toilet roll.
